When the system again descends to 2.5 11 ()(X), the pen arm comes into
contact ~iith the commutator contact and an electrical circuit is
closed through a squib in the load line. The load line is cut
and the load on the system falls six to eight feet before being
caught by a supplementary load line. Dnring this fall a rip
line pulls a hole one foot long in the side of the balloon and
the system descends using the partially inflated balloon to hold
the rate of descent to approximately 1200 f-'"/minute. This system
has been ,,sed successfully in .over 100 flights.
A drawing of the rip assembly is shown as FjP". 13. The cannon and
squib to cut the load line are shown as Fig. :t!i.
